I guess that means it "crapped" out on you!

Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyhoo, what does it smell like? Mold, mildew, feces, urine, skunk?

Apparently my humor was over your head. When you added my name to Brian's list you insinuated that you were familiar with how I smell... I turned it around on you and basically said that you know how I taste. That is nasty considering we are both dudes.

Well that conversation had my wife and I both cracking up. You guys are just too much. As for the smell in your diffs I can only imagine that it must have been from the type of grease that was used during its assembly. Some greases smell really bad due to the composition of components mixed together. Plus we have no idea just how long the grease was in the diff. As for dissing James you really have to watch out for yourself, because you know he is not going to just sit there and take it without getting even. Nice try though. If Harold were here I am sure that things could get really ugly.

SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.

Meanwhile, the OP probably took one look at the replies and decided to get some real help over at the noob forum...

How old is it? It could be really burned up as well. I took a temp gun to the alu case of a center diff that was diffing out badly. I was shocked to see how hot it got. It was the hottest thing on the truck lol.
